Our Library
On 16 January 2014, the 34th Mandela Day container library officially opened its doors at Ikaya Primary School.
Ikaya Primary School was built in 1986 – at the time the only primary school in the Kayamandi informal settlement – to educate children of the local community members, who were mostly farmers.
Situated on the school premises, this permanent learning facility will go a long way towards inspiring a love of reading among the school’s learners.

ABOUT US
Chess at iKaya
Not all black schools do chess but our school went on National level in 2019. The benefits of teaching Chess to kids and integrating it into the educational curriculum extend far beyond academic capabilities. Chess students learn to analyze, to plan and to perform, both over the board and in real life. The children learn how to concentrate, how to think ahead, how to solve complex problems, and how to make difficult decisions—all valuable life skills.
